Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s big day has arrived. The couple is reportedly set to exchange vows, according to multiple reports. The pop star and the hitmaker are set to exchange vows on Saturday, September 27, at a private Montecito estate in Santa Barbara County, where preparations are already underway for what promises to be a glamorous, star-studded celebration.
After a brief investigation (yes, we are as excited as you are), here’s what we know about the wedding!
The Venue & Wedding Setup
According to photos published by TMZ, a massive white marquee, surrounded by palm trees on the estate grounds, creates a luxurious California-style oasis.
A second gray tent has been locked in for the altar, where Gomez and Blanco will exchange vows.
Delivery trucks and party rental crews were spotted Thursday, preparing the secret location with outdoor lounges, cocktail stations, and pop-up kitchens for more than 170 guests.
Guests will reportedly stay nearby at the El Encanto hotel, where $3,500-a-night suites are fully booked for the weekend. To keep the event private, attendees won’t know the exact ceremony location until they are picked up by shuttles from their hotels.
“All the guests will be picked up and driven to the location without knowing their destination ahead of time,” a source told The Sun.
The Guest List: Taylor Swift, Paris Hilton & More
The couple’s wedding will be intimate but star-studded. As per a Daily Mail report, Taylor Swift is expected to attend, although she will likely go solo, as her fiancé, Travis Kelce, has a football game the next day. Paris Hilton, Blanco’s music collaborators, and Gomez’s “Only Murders in the Building” co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short are also on the guest list.
“Taylor is planning to attend, but she’ll probably be going solo as Travis has a game in Kansas the next day,” an insider explained.
Gomez recently celebrated her bachelorette party in Cabo San Lucas with close friends Racquelle Stevens, Ashley Cook, and Courtney Lopez, as well as her cousin, Priscilla Marie.
The group enjoyed yacht outings and beach days, fueling excitement for the big event.

“She was planning to attend but told Selena she now won’t be able to,” a source told the Daily Mail. Although no reason was confirmed, Streep, 76, has been filming the sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada” in New York City.
From Engagement to ‘I Do’: Gomez & Blanco’s Love Story
Gomez, 33, and Blanco, 37, confirmed their romance in late 2023 and got engaged in December 2024 after more than a year together. The singer shared the happy news on Instagram, captioning it, “Forever begins now,” while showcasing her engagement ring. Blanco commented, “Hey, wait… that’s my wife,” and later reposted the photos, writing, “Still can’t believe it!”
The couple opened up about their relationship in a February interview, with Blanco admitting Gomez “didn’t know when it was coming,” which made the proposal even more meaningful.

My Nana’s biscuits and gravy — that sounds like dessert to me.”
Blanco, for his part, admitted on the “Therapuss with Jake Shane” podcast that the two had yet to dive into planning at the time.
